Holy Week services begin Palm Sunday

The central focus of Christianity is Easter's Resurrection celebration. Holy Week's events allow people of faith to walk where Jesus walked and to arrive, awestruck, at His empty tomb.

Local churches ready to take that journey welcome guests for these worship hours:

Arbutus United Methodist Church, 1201 Maple Ave., 410-242-9029.

• Palm Sunday, March 24: Hosanna hours, 8:30; 9:45; and 11 a.m.

• Holy Thursday, March 28: Communion, 7 p.m.

• The annual Arbutus Ministerium's Good Friday service, March 29: Area choirs, liturgists, interpreters and pastors present eyewitness accounts from the foot of the cross. Handicap access. Breaks built in to allow entrances or exits. Come when you can; leave when you must. Noon to 3 p.m.
